"Elias Contruction provided a detailed estimate after inspecting the roof and making some qualified recommendations. The project required a few change orders that were not clarified in writing. I would recommend hiring Elias if you get changes in writing. They cleaned up pretty well although they missed a few things due to finishing in the dark. Overall satisfied with the job and cost was 60% of other bids due to sheathing adjustment."

"I had a great experience with Tri-City Staining! They cleaned and sealed my deck in a very reasonable amount of time, and I really appreciated their fast, efficient service. The quality of their work was excellent, and they clearly know what they?re doing when it comes to every step of the deck staining process. They took the time to explain things and made sure everything was done right. Highly recommend if you?re looking for reliable and knowledgeable professionals!"

"These guys were absolutely great! I’m pretty picky and they exceeded my expectations. I had the exterior of my home painted last week and it looks fabulous. They caulked, caulked, and then caulked some more. The trim and ceiling lines were very clean. House was sprayed and back rolled (the proper way to do it). The whole crew was very friendly and trustworthy. I had some small plants started near the house and they didn’t accidentally step on a single one, even I stepped on one a few weeks ago. When it was time for the final walkthrough, there was one tiny little spot they missed, that’s it. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone and if I ever need to have paint done again, this is who I would hire. Quality work is hard to come by these days, and they are top notch."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

You’ll need to restrain your deck when you notice fading, cracking, peeling, or mold and mildew over a moderate to large area, or when it’s become especially difficult to clean. As for how often to stain a deck, plan to do it every two to three years or whenever you start to notice extended damage.

It’s best to prime composite decking before painting. This promotes better paint adhesion, helps create a smooth finish, and can mean the paint job will last longer. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions for application, allow ample primer drying time before painting (typically 24 to 48 hours), and thoroughly clean the deck boards to promote the best adhesion.

Staining a deck with a rag is typically a better option than using a brush, as it helps the stain penetrate deeper into the wood. However, both brushes and rags are best reserved for detailed work because using these tools on an entire deck can require tediously crawling around on your hands and knees. A pad applicator, sprayer, or roller are preferred alternatives to applying stain over the majority of a deck. Use a rag for railings and other detailed work, and let the wood soak up as much of the stain as possible before wiping away drips or pools.

When staining a deck, don’t skip surface prep, avoid staining damp or dirty boards, and don’t apply stain in extreme heat, cold, or wet conditions. Never overload the wood with a stain, as too much can cause tackiness or peeling. Also, don’t forget to test a small area first to ensure the color and finish look right.

Whether to brush or roll stain on wood depends on the project and your preference. Brushing is ideal for smaller, intricate areas and offers more control over the application, ensuring thorough coverage and penetration into the wood's grain. 

Conversely, rolling is efficient for more extensive, flat surfaces and can save time. However, it is not always the best fit for textured or uneven wood. Some projects may benefit from combining both methods, using a brush for detail work and a roller for broader areas. Ultimately, the choice between brushing and rolling depends on the specific requirements of your staining project.
